& I write books about love and magic.✨
I live in a small town in the middle of Illinois cornfields with my husband and three children, and when I’m not chasing down my tiny humans, studying for my master's degree, or walking down a country road at sunset, I’m inhaling fictional worlds like oxygen or dreaming up my own. I write fantasy and contemporary, and always with a healthy dose of romance, angst, and healing.
